Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, rub the zest of 1 lemon (avoid the white part) together with the cane sugar — this releases the essential oils from the zest. Add the mint leaves and rub for a few more seconds.
    2. Stellka's Tip: Rub the lemon and mint a little longer than you think you need — the more oils you release from the zest, the more flavorful the whole jar gets ;)
  2. Add the zested and cut-up lemon (again, without the white pith) to the bowl and mash everything together.
  3. In a larger jar, add the sparkling water (I used ~900ml), the lemon-mint mixture, and ice cubes. Stir, top with lemon slices and mint. Enjoy ;)
